No Man’s Sky is one of the most highly anticipated games this year and although it promises a vast level of exploration, it also presented a lot of issues particularly for the players of the PC version of the game.

According to Sean Murray, one of the main developers of the game, he said that Hello Games has been working non-stop since launch day to address the many issues that people have faced since August 12.

Now, as previously mentioned, most of the issues that players face is on the PC version of the game. As it turns out, there are many hardware incompatibilities resulting in game’s crashing and stuttering.

Also, according to Murray, they have released a total of three patches in order to rectify the issues on the PC side.

They have just recently released the third patch since launch and that they did not issue any patch notes.

Well, the good thing is that they just recently released the complete patch notes, from patch 1 to patch 3 and Murray said that this fixes 70% of the problems on the PC version of the game.

The first patch that was released was for support of older computer hardware. This includes AMD Phenom processors support, support for PCs that have fewer than 4 processor cores, Radeon 6000 series graphics card support, among others.

Also included in the first patch is the improvement of Alt-Tabbing where before, the game would crash when pressing this key combination.

The framerate stuttering issue that was experienced in the early days of No Man’s Sky was due to the “Shader Caching feature. Basically, the previous GPU shader caching system was not able to match people’s GPU configurations.

This has been changed and people should not experience any issues anymore. They might experience a stutter during the first moments in the game but that should quickly go away as you progress.

The second patch was aimed at fixing some of the stability issues as well as some bug fixes. For example, prior to the patch, a lot of players get stuck under the world. They would save their games, reload the game again, and would find themselves stuck in the same position. That has now been fixed with Patch 2.

There is also a huge bug wherein players were not able to save their progress until they die in-game. That has since been rectified.

Then comes Patch 3. Patch 3 is basically an extension of Patch 2 and it hopes to fix more bugs. One of these bugs is loading corrupted saves.

According to the gaming company, there are instances where the players save their games only to have the game crash. This would result in corrupted saved games.

In this patch, you can now load corrupted saves without any hitch. If the corrupted saved game is loaded, I suggest you save the game again in order for the game to generate another complete save.

There are many fixes that are included in the three patches that were released and the complete changelog is available on the game’s Steam page.

No Man’s Sky is available on the PC and on the Playstation 4 game console.

The Xbox game consoles have become a household name. A lot of people have bought Xbox game consoles since its release and even to this day, a lot of people are also buying the new Xbox One.

In the coming months, a slimmer version of the Xbox One, in the form of the “Xbox One S”, will be released and next year, the next-generation Xbox game console will be released called “Xbox Scorpio”.

This just shows you the evolution of the Xbox line of game consoles but did you know that the Xbox has an unusual history?

Xbox is created and manufactured by Microsoft, a leading operating system company. Its CEO, Bill Gates, nearly didn’t give the green light to push the production of the Xbox game consoles, and here’s why:

Bill Gates wanted to venture into the game console niche but he wants the game console to have the Windows operating system as its core.

So, there were two teams that were assigned to create the game consoles. One team is using an entirely new operating system for the console and one is doing the game console with Windows as its operating system.

Ed Fries, the co-creator of the original Xbox game console said that he discussed his idea of putting an entirely new operating system in the new game console. Later, he said that Bill Gates nearly disapproved the idea because of the fact that it was not using a Windows operating system.

In fact, he was so furious as to why Fries’ team ditched the original idea of incorporating the Windows operating system inside the Xbox game consoles.

It was because the Xbox game console concept had a lot of major revisions and at that time, the Windows operating system was still not tailor-made for gaming (at least one that can rival the Sony Playstation).

After shouting at Fries’ production team, one employee finally stood up and said that “if we’re not going to go on with this, Microsoft can lose a fair share of the market as Sony will be the king of the hill when it comes to game consoles”.

After the employee has said that, Bill Gates’ temperament immediately shifted into something more positive.

Bill Gates was then calm and collected and he said to Fries’ team to continue on with the development and the production of the Xbox game console.

And that is how the Xbox line of game consoles was born. But Fries never forgot about Gates’ wish of incorporating the Windows operating system with the Xbox game console.

Later this year and in the near future, Microsoft and Xbox will be fully integrated thanks to the Xbox Play Anywhere system.

The idea is that you can play Xbox games on Windows PCs and you can also play PC games on the Xbox.

In the end, Xbox goes toe-to-toe with Sony’s Playstation in the game console market. The Xbox line of game consoles turned out to be a massive success despite its rocky start.

If there is one thing that can hamper your progress when losing weight, it is hunger. Hunger is probably one of the major reasons why people gain back the weight they’ve lost during their weight-loss journey.

Hunger, per se, is not a bad thing; it is your body’s way of telling you that you need nourishment. Even though we can go for days without food, our bodies will keep on nagging us to eat.

But, even if it is a biological thing, has it ever occurred to you to think why we get hungry?

In this article, I will talk about the 4 reasons why you’re always hungry and always clamoring for food. I hope that this article will open your eyes and hopefully, it will solve your hunger issues.

Let’s get started!

Eating Way Too Many Carbs. Carbohydrates or carbs is one of the most essential macronutrients that our body needs. And rightfully so; carbs give us the energy that we need in order for us to have energy throughout the rest of the day. But, if you eat may too many carbs during nighttime, there is a big probability that you will be feeling hungrier the next day. That is because carbs, or refined carbs at least, contain some form of sugar. When your body’s got way too many sugars, it releases a hormone called Insulin. Insulin regulates your body’s blood sugar level. That is okay as the hormone is doing its job. What’s not okay is that since your blood sugar will be affected because of Insulin, you may experience low blood sugar instead, thus, making you feel hungry. In order to avoid this, limit your carb intake especially at night and focus more on protein and fat.

Not Drinking Enough Water. Most people mistake hunger with dehydration. Although the feelings associated with both are nearly the same, what you’re experiencing is probably just dehydration. To avoid dehydration, drink a glass or two of water. Also, do not drink too much water before meals as it can hamper your digestion.

Watching Food Shows on TV. I am guilty of this and so are a lot of people. I usually watch food shows on TV. This may range from cooking shows or shows that showcase a lot of delectable foods. Since eating is a multi-sensory experience, just the sight of food makes us hungry. To avoid this, just ditch the shows that showcase food and watch something more interesting instead.

You Lack Sleep. Lack of Sleep is another major contributor to your hunger. You see, when you lack sleep, you will severely reduce your body’s production of Leptin. Leptin is a hormone that’s responsible for signaling your brain that you are not hungry and that you’re still satiated. Aim to have at least 6-8 hours of sleep per day.

If you’re continuously feeling hungry, read this article. I hope that the knowledge I’ve imparted here will help you treat your hunger problems.

The first thing we’re going to talk about the NBA2K16 Game for iOS mobile phones is the MyCareer mode. In the Mycareer mode, you’re going to choose a basketball superstar of your choosing.

You will control only this main character throughout the rest of the season. During the course of the season, you will earn achievements and awards as you progress towards the championship.

If you choose the season modes, you will be subjected to 82 games and 16 playoff games culminating in the finals to win the championships. The only difference with the MyCareer mode and the Season modes is that the latter allows you to play with the whole team as opposed to just a specific character that you can do on the former.

The graphics of the NBA2K16 Game for iOS mobile phones have also been vastly improved. It now takes advantage of the iPhone’s graphical and specs prowess and it really gives you an immersive and a highly aesthetic gaming experience.

Aside from the graphics, the onscreen controls have been optimized as well. Sometimes during the heat of the game, you might press buttons that you did not intend to. That was rectified in this version of the game. The controls are now spread a little bit apart to avoid that from happening. You do not want to shoot the ball when you intend to pass it, right?

During the course of the game, you will earn in-game currency to buy different stuff. The stuff I am referring to may be new superstars, new rosters, accessories, among others.

One major addition to the NBA2K16 Game for iOS mobile phones is the inclusion of the Euroleague. The Euroleague, much like the NBA, is Europe’s biggest Basketball franchise. There are many teams in the Euroleague and you can also choose then if you want to in this game.

And lastly, if you want to use a physical controller, that is supported as well. You may have to dish extra money to buy the gamepad, though, but it really is worth it.xD

The NBA2K16 Game for iOS mobile phones is a great hoops action game. This game costs $8 and can be downloaded on the Apple app store.

The Donkey Kong franchise is yet another big gaming franchise that is published by Nintendo. The Donkey Kong game already spanned a lot of years. I remembered when I was still in 5th grade where I played my first ever Donkey Kong game on the Super Nintendo.

Today, we are going to talk about a particular Donkey Kong Game specifically made for the Nintendo Wii U, the Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is centered on the Kong family where they celebrated Donkey Kong’s birthday. Their birthday celebration was abruptly interrupted when a conjured Snow Dragon ravaged the land and turned it into frost.

Lord Frederik, the leader of the Snowmads, was responsible for creating the Snow dragon using his powerful horn. The Snow dragon did not only cast ice and snow on the Donkey Kong Island, but Donkey Kong and his family members were cast out because of the strong winds that the Snow dragon has created.

Upon crossing 5 other islands, Donkey Kong and the rest of the gang were back in Donkey Kong Island where they defeated Lord Frederik for good. Donkey Kong dealt a huge blow on Lord Frederik blasting him towards the area where the Snowmads’ ships were located.

Donkey Kong later found the powerful horn that was used by Lord Frederik to conjure the snow dragon and he used it again to create a bevy of flowers. Donkey Kong and his family now sits back and rejoiced as the Donkey Kong Island returned to its former glory.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a 3D side-scrolling adventure game featuring Donkey Kong and the rest of his family. Other than Donkey Kong, you can use Diddy Kong who has a barrel jetpack that allows you to cross large gaps of land. There is also Dixie Kong who can spin her ponytail so she can jump a great distance and slowly descend afterwards. Her special ability is especially useful when there are certain items that cannot be accessed by any other Kong.

Then, there is Cranky Kong which has a Cane that allows him to bounce off dangerous terrain such as spikes, for example, and he can use that cane as well to defeat certain enemies that other characters cannot.

The Kongs will have to defeat Snowmads, Viking-like creatures that have a nefarious plan of taking over the Donkey Kong Island.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze has pretty much the same game mechanics as before with a few cool additions: you can now pluck items from the ground to throw at your enemies. Heck, you can even throw away stunned enemies as well!

There is also a Kong-POW meter, that, when filled, allows Donkey Kong and a partner to do a cool move that destroys enemies in the screen.

Funky Kong, a new character, will now run an expanded shop where you can buy items that boost stats, among others.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is an amazing side-scrolling 3D adventure game and it actually garnered a lot of awards. If you have a Nintendo Wii U, definitely get this game.

The Nintendo DS is the most popular portable gaming device on the market. As a result, there is no shortage of people reporting problems with either the software or hardware for the DS. Thankfully, with so many people using the device, there is a lot of support out there if something goes wrong.

With many people using R4 cards in the DS Slot, a major problem that comes up is that the Nintendo DS stops reading the R4 card. This manages to happen on all models of the DS, and can be very frustrating. Below are a few of the reasons why this may be happening, as well as what you can do to fix the problem on your own. If you are still covered under warranty, then best send it in prior to trying to fix it, as trying to fix it may void the warranty.

Fingerprint on Card

A major reason why R4 cards do not work is that there is a fingerprint on the sensitive part of the cart responsible for relaying data from the cart to the machine. Though the particles may not seem like much, they can cause all sorts of havoc, and normally cause the DS to not be able to read the R4. Take the card out of the DS, and carefully wipe the card with tissue paper until all smudges are removed. It should go without saying that you should not use water.

Debris in Slot

Similar to a fingerprint, debris in the slot will stop the R4 card from coming into complete contact with the port. In this case, do what countless generations of Nintendo owners have done, and blow into the slot to remove any debris you can find. More often then not, this debris will float away.

Destroyed Connecter

A serious problem is if the connecter is destroyed. This means that something may be bent out of place, causing no data to be sent through. Most often caused by someone jamming the R4 card to hard into the slot, it may require taking apart the DS to fix the problem.

Water Damage

The bane of all electronics, water damage can cause the slot to stop working with everything.

System Failure

The final thing to consider is a system failure, where the software got overwritten in some way and the DS is no longer able to connect. In this case, it may be time to get a new DS.

The list of Nintendo DS consoles comprised of the first DS model, the DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL models.
